U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey has invited an undocumented immigrant from Texas to attend President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address on Tuesday.

The undocumented immigrant to attend Obama’s speech with Veasey, D-Fort Worth, is Julieta Garibay. The 32-year-old woman moved from Mexico to Austin with her parents when she was 12-years-old.

Garibay is a graduate of the University of Texas, where she received nursing degrees. As a student there she co-founded the University Leadership Initiative, an undocumented youth organization that promotes higher education and civic engagement for immigrants.

Garibay could be the first known undocumented immigrant to attend a State of the Union speech.

“This is a big step for Dreamers and indicative of how far this movement has come,” Garibay said. “Congressman Veasey recognizes that and has always supported the cause.”

Veasey office did not comment on the invitation.

A founding board member of the United We DREAM Network, Garibay has emerged as one of the most prominent voices of the movement to bring young undocumented immigrants out of the shadows.

“There’s a lot of momentum for immigration reform and we’re ready to be at the forefront,” she said.

President Obama has called on Congress to overhaul the nation’s immigration system and pass legislation that provides illegal immigrants like Garibay with a path to citizenship.

Veasey was elected in November and represents the newly created Congressional District 33 in North Texas.
